WESTBORO -- The Westborough Public Library announces its new Lego Club for children ages 7-12. The club will meet 3:30-4:30 p.m. Fridays in the Library Meeting Room beginning April 5. No signup is required, and there is no cost to participate.

Lego Club is an hour of socializing and creative building. The library will provide the Legos, on loan by Josh Rothbart, so participants are asked not to bring their own. Each child's creation will be on display in the library until the next week's program, and will not be able to be taken home. Parents are encouraged to photograph their child's creation, and photos of the creations will be posted on the library's website.

Parents are encouraged to participate with their children or enjoy the library while their children are attending Lego Club. Although the program is for children ages 7-12, younger children may participate but need direct parental supervision and may not be supervised by an older sibling.

Anyone who wishes to make a donation of gently used or new Legos can drop them off in the Children's Room anytime. For more information, contact Maureen Ambrosino, library director, at (508) 366-3050 or email westboro@cwmars.org.
